“They’re fast, explosive, they get up the field, the quarterback has to be ready to step up, move in the pocket,” said Tim Tebow, more concerned about the Seahawks than their crowd, saying he thought LSU was a louder environment. “They have a lot of great athletes. ...They usually get quarterbacks flustered with their speed,’’

“I’ve never been to Seattle, but college stadiums compared to the NFL, there’s not much of a comparison. Pretty much most of the SEC places are a lot louder.’’

Mark Sanchez will not be the only Jets QB to be rattled on Sunday. IMHO.

49ers webzone: Win or lose, i hope you injure Sherman. Like a serious career ending injury. I don't want him to get paid.49ers webzone: noise should not be the overwhelming reason a team is favored. they need to spray noise-damping foam onto the ceiling of that place.

I hope he breaks loose on a run and gets absolutely erased by Browner. I think I'd actually fear getting hit by Browner more than I would from Chancellor. Either that or Mebane just comes through and crushes him out behind the LOS.

I'd imagine he's probably right. 12th man aint what it used to be. How many false starts have we caused this year, 2 or 3? Teams have gotten better at dealing with it (and i dont think its nearly as loud as it was back in 2005-2008ish.)

Quite honestly i dont expect the crowd to be a factor at all, our team will kick their ass just because theyre a better team.

Which should be like an intravenous shot of caffeine to #12, right?

It was probably the quietest game I've ever attended (quiet in relative terms, of course).

I noticed the same thing, the loudness for GB, Patriots, Dallas games were awesome. The Vikings game was very mellow in comparison, I wonder is it the opponent, the quick touchdown they scored or was it just cold, not sure what happened, there were many sections empty after the opening kickoff, and by the last 2 minutes, everyone left. Its so uncharateristic of Clink, hope the crowd is energized for this one.

i know this is a awkward first post. But I'm a Die hard Seahawks fan, and LSU fan. I've been to two Seahawks games and 3 LSU games.

The Seahawks games were consistently loud through out the entire game, for the most part. But LSU games. when they get to the points where the fans get loud, Tiger Stadium cant be touched by the ClLink.But by all means, i would LOVE for people going to the game to get upset and prove me wrong. Make my TV shake so Timmy will be shaking on the sideline too

Give it a rest guys...He made an honest assessment- that on a whole, SEC stadiums that hold 90,000 are louder than NFL stadiums- that's probably true. He never said anything about Seattle specifically. It doesn't really matter, anyways as the only way he will be behind C is if Sanchez gets hurt or for 3 gimmick plays.

How could you hate Tim Tebow? I cannot respect anyone who hates someone like Tebow. All he does is work hard, compete, have an exceptional attitude, bring his teammates up..That Denver team last year was awful before he took over. I'm not saying he is a good QB but his intangibles are off the charts.

In a lot of ways Tebow has comparable intangibles to our QB, RW. If the reason you hate Tebow is because he has a strong faith in God, then you should also hate Russell Wilson as well. Wilson tweets a daily bible verse almost every day. Also, he visits sick kids much like Wilson does...I'm sorry, I just can't fathom how you could "HATE" Tim Tebow.

I agree. Tebow is an awesome athlete ... its just the position he chooses to play and the media hype that is the bother.

But whatever motivates the crowd to lose its voice. Although I kind of think the reason the Clink wasn't as loud last week is partially because AP is awesome enough to generate respect for what he can do. I would imagine if it had come down to a final defensive stand or something, the crowd noise would have been epic.

This is true. At the game last week they flashed the false start chart that they have since the stadium has been open basically. Seattle was ahead of Minnesota by only 1! The lead used to be huge. It's crazy just how much the # of false starts has gone down over the years. I think the biggest difference is it doesn't catch teams off guard like it used to. Teams used to come here not even thinking it would be a factor. Now for the most part, they know what's up, and practice accordingly.

Still think Tebow is an idiot. How true to character is the guy whose glory days were playing in the SEC, idolized like a golden god, winning championships, to continue to live in the past and act as if the SEC is the end all be all. Really funny. I hope we shut down Sanchez so bad that they replace him with Tebow, and he actually has to play QB against us with our crowd. And not just on a bunch of random trick plays.

uhh what??

Not even, dudes just phoney. He's been that way since his fame at Florida when he was crying after getting stomped out by Alabama, I just don't like him. His ego won't even let him have a productive career in the NFL, dude wants to be a QB and he's absolute trash at it. So to me, I don't wanna hear this good guy stuff. He visits kids in the hospital? thats honorable and cool and all, but its not going to make me a fan of his.

I'm tired of hearing about and from him, I'm tired of seeing him. The way he's been turned into this idol is sickening, its almost as if some people really worship this clown.

Tebow hate has nothing personal to do with Tebow himself. It's about all the talking heads at ESPN performing fellatio on the guy since he was a RS Freshman. 90% of America was sick of Tebow before he ever thought about declaring for the NFL Draft.

Chukarhawk wrote:How on earth can you hate Tebow? unless you suffer from some sort of Christophobia.....

Because he's quite possibly the worst QB to have started for half a season in a long time. His numbers were HORRIFIC, yet everyone was talking like he was some pro-bowler. Completing less than 50% of your passes and leading the league in 3 and outs meant nothing to a media that fell all over themselves worshipping him.

It made me sick. If it weren't for their defense playing out of their minds they wouldn't have won a thing. It's hard to win when you can barely score 17 points a game.

That's why I can't stand the guy. He get's way too much credit for what Denver did last year...

Have you ever heard of something called intangibles? Leadership skills that inspire BELIEF (the most powerful thing a football team can have)They were 1-4 without him, and on their way to the RG3, Luck sweepstakes. I mean they were terrible...With him they won 6 in a row including wins vs Chi, SD, and NYJ..The most telling part for me was when I read an article from a scout who said the same players that were grading at C-F during the first four games, were grading between A-Bs for the remaining 11 games of the season.

He may have a terrible throwing motion, but he is a winner....You may say he got too much credit, but without Tebow that teams goes 2-14 or 3-13. Sure, Prater made big picks, and the D made great plays...But Tebow got them to believe in him, and believe in each other...

The Jets are IDIOTS for using a Tebow / Sanchez rotation. They look like fools doing it. I almost feel sorry for them having that fundamental J.C. "me first" dude on their team. I saw him whining multiple times on the sidelines. The Jets are a laughingstock....
